How can I change my ip ?

SocksCap Full Tutorial with Pictures

SocksCap is an application wrapper developed by NEC. SocksCap enables the Internet applications to run through a socks server so that the server end of the application can't know your real IP address. SocksCap does not require modifications to the Winsock applications or the Winsock stacks. On a SOCKS enabled firewall SocksCap offers a client-only solution. Socks is now owned by Permeo.

SocksCap allows Windows users to enable their Winsock applications to traverse a SOCKS server. SocksCap does not require modifications to the Winsock applications or the Winsock stacks. However, due to the multitude of available Winsock stacks, SocksCap may not work in every situation.

Other Program that Support SOCKS
Each program that support SOCKS proxy should have a section in their configuration for Proxy Setup. In this section the following information will be asked for:

1. SOCKS Server:
Fill in the socks server address such as "sock5.my-proxy.com" or 128.58.14.99

2. Port:
Usually 1080. (port 1080 is the default port for socks server)

3. User Name:
Fill in it if the server need.

4. Password:
Fill in it if the server need.

Sockscap Makes Using Socks Easy

If the Internet program that you are using does not have a proxy setup option, or if you want to make configuring easier, then you can use a freeware application such as SocksCap.

Once sockscap is configured for our proxy server, you do not need to configure any of your Internet programs. Simply click and drag your Internet programs into the sockscap program control window, start the program, and you are runing on the proxy! It is this easy.

Sockscap Fast / EASY Setup

Select 'File' from the Top left of the SocksCap interface, then select 'Setup' from the drop down menu. Enter the socks server address and port you have.

Under the 'Protocol' section, you should enter your user name when using a SOCK4 server. If you use a Sock5 server, commonly you can select "Resolve all names removely" under the 'Name Resolution' section. Ask help from the Sock5 server master if you have a problem here.

Under "Supported authentication" check the box for "Username/ Password" if you have. A Sock5 proxy server usuall need one.

From the main SocksCap control window, add your applications the same way you would create a Windows shortcut as in the following screen captures. You can drag and drop your favourite applications from your desktop or program directory into the SocksCap control window for easy "socksification".

Click and drag your program icon into the blank control window and you will see...

Simply click on the Ok button and your program will be added to the sockscap control window. Repeat this step for each of your Internet programs that you would like to use on the LockDown Proxy. When you are finished your sockscap control window will look something like the example below.

Now you are ready to use sockscap to launch your programs.

1. Close or Exit Sockscap.
2. Close or Exit your Internet Programs.
3. Make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
4. Launch sockscap and enter the user name and password for the sock5 proxy server you set.
5. Launch your Internet programs from the sockscap control window.

When you setup your new applications to run "socksified" you no longer need to use the proxy settings in the application itself, simply start them through the SocksCap interface and they will be working under our proxy service and hide your real connection.

Testing Your Connection

You can test your browser by loading the
http://hxxp://info.my-proxy.com
web page from IE in the SockCap control. If you are connecting through the proxy, you will see what your real IP address is hided.

*NOTE* You can drag and drop your newly created "socksified" clients from the main SocksCap control window, to your desktop so you don't have to re-open the SocksCap control window to start your sessions.

Now you are ready. Any time you like you can start your SocksCap program and launch your Internet programs "socksified" under The Proxy Connection Proxy Servers.
Well I hope this helps some of you out with your socks proxies
All thanks to stel128 for putting this together.
 
Tomorrow i might put together something myself showing how to change ip using cmd/netstat.
 
For a DSL router connect to ISP, can you tell me of another option, besides power cycling, to obtain a new IP? The ipconfig release/renew commands don't work. Looking for simple/easy methods.
 
To hide your ip you can use
Code:
hidemyass.com
or you can download aol software and change the connection settings to Home Network and you're done :D
Hope it helps
 
^Those proxy sites can be detected SO easily. Ive tried that one and many others, I always get banned again.

Doesnt changing aol to "home" just make it use dial up? I did that and I still had the same IP.
 
Changing the connection to Home Network will give and aol ip
 
My vote for right now is proxyway. it has a good gui console and easy to use. it is a really simple solution for changing the ip address. Hopefully I don't jinx this one. The last free proxy w/console I recommended, went out of business a couple of months later.
 
i like the firefox proxy add -on and i get the proxys form different sources
